Abstract:
This article is an abstract from a new guide, Principles of Best Practice: Minimising Pain at Wound Dressing-Related Procedures. It is an educational initiative of the World Union of Wound Healing Societies (WUWHS). The guide has been inspired by two seminal documents: the European Wound Management Association's position document, Pain at Wound Dressing Changes (EWMA, 2002), and Practical Treatment of Wound Pain and Trauma: A Patient-centred Approach (Reddy et al, 2003). As an international educational initiative, the WUWHS document is aimed at anyone involved in dressing-related procedures anywhere in the world. This article summarises the section on best practice in the assessment of wound pain.

Assessment of radial pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:
Assessing Blood pressure using a doppler ultrasound
Pre-Procedural Guidelines for Doppler Ultrasound Blood Pressure Assessment:
